Flattening a tube to make a paper template in Solidworks

Quick guide for AAU Racing members on how to make a flat version out of the structural members created through weldments in Solidworks.
This flat version is then be printed out and wrapped around the tube and used as a guide when notching tubes by hand.

I'm surprised there is not an easier way to do this... Making a plane, cutting the tube lengthwise and inserting a bend is tedious work. It should be just click the tube and flatten really. Thank you for the information... Would have never figured it out on my own!
